thumbs down to losing an hour of sleep.
seriously hurting for good fiction. i broke my ban on getting new books, but hard to resist the library bookstore: 50 cents/paperback. i wanted some story i could burn through pretty quickly to get some momentum back in my reading. dug up some change from my car for angels & demons by dan brown. spending the change in a gumball machine may have been more worthwhile. do people actually like this guy? because i see most people being like me, curious to check out a story and then kind of regretting that they picked his book. fluff, fluff and fluff. it's a page turner in that it's like an action movie, or like a car accident - you just can't turn away. and the ending is like the ending of a fireworks show, bigger and bigger explosions and then nothing.
a little while back, i read the shack by william young. i guess it's caused a bit of a stir, though i don't really see why. while the book offered a little more imagination to the dynamic relation of the trinity, i couldn't really get past the clumsy writing. it was clunky.
i'm sleepy. more tomorrow.

Unaccustomed Earth by Jhumpa Lahiri....not a feel good read but amazing short stories. Loved them all.
And WORD NERD..it is sooo great.
I'm reading Little Bee, can't remember the author. It's a super quick read and pretty powerful. Also a different style. Check it out.
